Ring on swollen Finger.

II was an old woman who made this re-
quest Of a Broadway jeweler, and as the
worker in gold and silver took the

a half credulous way. III you can, do it
by all means"
Then the jeweler took the swollen
finger and wound it ROUND from the top
dOwnwards in a length Of fiat rubber
braid. The elastic cord exerted its force
upon the tissues Of the finger gently and
gradually until the flesh seemed 10 be
pushed down almost 10 the bone. The
old wOman's hand was then held above

of the North ia the war Of 1870. His

Gen. Faidherbe was an lunch. a non

came mp with "a French dragon and a
horse which Gen. Won Cohen had sent him
with q polite message, believing 10 10 be
his property. The horse was "a miserable
animal. and Gen. Faidherbe, amazed az
the apparition. asked the dragon for
an explanation. The man related
that hc had been taken prisoner with three
comrades by a patrol of German cavalry
two days before. and that he had hit ON
the bright idea of representing himself as
the orderly and his horse as the fay0rite
charger of Gen. Faidherbe. The German
officers had communicated his statement

returned the animal to the French general

soldier TO take the Dragon and the
horse back with him, and the man had o.

CuItivating the Intellect to the Neglect

CuItivating the Intellect to the Neglect
of Heel-and-Toe Education.
EDS. RECORD UNION A reunion of San
Francisco Chautauquans took place in this
city on Tuesday evening last. Ten local
Circles were largely represented, and nearly
a score of invited guests from Oakland'
Alameda and Berkeley Circles were also
present. About 300 participated in the
entertainment, first listening to the follow
ing programme, which was excellently
rendered:
Glass song of SO; opening prayer, Rev.
J. C. Eastman; roll call, with quotation re-
sponses; outline history of Chautauqua,
VIM. L. 0ge; Chautauqua work OF to-day
throughout the world, Rev. J. q. Adams;
piano solo, Miss R. NJ. Kline; address,
Rev. G. v. Anthony original poem Mrs
+. H. Avery; vocal selection, Orpheus
Quartet, Messrs. Thersot Rice, Hemmen
way and Hills; recitation, Mrs. M. a.
Belding; vocal solo, Nine. Anita Grant.
The Chautauqua salute was frequently
given. but its effect could not arouse the
enthusiasm called forth by it at Chautau-
qua. where the simultaneous waving of
thousands of snowy handkerchiefs has
been aptly termed the poisoning of the
lilies
A noticeable feature during the season of
refreshing, following the programme, was
the offering of toast to each Circle, the
responses to which. by brilliant and witty
members, ranged " from grave to gay
humorous in many points and local hits,
and well received by all. NJ. Fl Field, our
genial Pacific Branch Secretary, was there,
and in responding to a toast to the Circles
of San Jose gave the audience a hearty in
vitation to attend the Chautauqua Assem-
bly, at Monterey the coming summer.
The refreshments consisted simply of
lemonade with cake of every kind-for the
G. L. S. c., as a rule, believe it of far more
importance and in better taste, to feast the
intellect than cater to the lower appetite.
The class or graduating badges were worn
by nearly all the members, and in addition
the flower of the class to which they be-
long; and hence the display of heliotrope,
roses, pansies, marguerites and daisies was
very tasteful and pleasing. Tuberoses were
unfortunately scarce so early in the sea-
son, but the class of 100, nothing daunted,
appeared in borrowed adornments. The
oak leaf also took place of distinction
with the Reception Committee. and the
floral decorations in the spacious rooms,
and grazing the table, lent an additional
charm to the OCCASION
The names of the San Francisco Circles
are as follows Central, Spiral, Attic, Pa
cific. Laurentian, ]. @. Adams, Geneva, Q,
Pierian, and one which is, as yet, Name
less This grand educational movement is
gaining ground rapidly on our coast and
throughout the world, and such demon
STATIONS as these are well calculated to give
a greater impetus to the cause we SO devo-
teddy love. B.
